4 New Orleans Chefs to Watch

Chefs to Watch have proven their talent is worthy of your attention, just not with the fanfare that leads to name recognition. We're predicting that will come. This year’s class represents a cross-section of the diverse talent working in restaurants today. There is an expert salumi maker and a hamburger savant.

There is a veteran chef looking to make a splash crossing his native Vietnamese cuisine with French and another looking to bring farm-to-table cooking to a classic neighborhood joint revered for its hamburger steaks. Interviews were conducted by Todd A. Price.
